Are you suggesting that the quality of music is determined by it's chart success, sales numbers, and popularity? If so, Party Rock Anthem must not be mediocre...

By the eyes of those people, yes. The general public gives two ***** what anyone else thinks about the music, only what they think.

I suppose maturity is a matter of opinion, but at least Taylor isn't a married 27 year old woman with pink hair, singing about having sex and partying.

How is Miley higher than Katy for Critic Reviews? I am done.

I don't get why ATRL are so uptight about these kind of things.

GENERAL PUBLIC DON'T GIVE TWO ***** ABOUT WHO'S MORE TALENTED.

Isn't this the same list that stated Taylor had several BET awards? I don't find anything from that accurate tbh.

she is a big seller not anything else

That error was quickly fixed and the list stands, if you don't believe what Rolling Stone has reported you can Google the facts and see how Taylor's albums rate with the critics.

Somehow the girls in this thread started on critic reviews.

No, the critical acclaim was brought up as a rebuttal to a claim that her music was "mediocre"

You should change the title to "Come drag Taylor Swift"

Anyways, I really dont consider her as a popstar, but I won't deny that she's successful.

She is dragging these pressed bitches with her critical success, sold-out-tours worldwide, huge album sales, racking up award after award and shattering the record books. Believe me, she is unbothered.

You forgot her Covergirl endorsement and spot on the Forbes list last year.

I've been seeing the commercials all the time.

To think that years ago Taylor was sitting in the floor at the offices of Big Machine Records mailing out the Tim McGraw single and now look at where she is.

I remember there's a pic of Taylor with boxes of her debut album. She packed 'em with the staffs and proudly posed with 'em like she just won a triathlon. And 6 years later, she headlined 8 stadiums in a tour, scored as one of the 2011 top ten tours.

Who knew that she would be the most powerful album-selling force in the US music industry?

Remember this NPR piece: http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2...n-taylor-swift?

4 years from now, she'll enter the legend area. about 14(or even shorter?) years from now, the living legend area. And 20 years from now, Hall of Fame?

Praying hard here.

It seems like she could really, really get up their in album/record sales. She has shown effortless momentum throughout her entire career. She's so likable. She's probably the only current major artist that every member of my immediate and extended family likes.

It's hard to imagine that even after Adele's absolutely massive, record-breaking year, Taylor is still going head-to-head with her album sales-wise over the past 12 months.
